I do not drop ship or order in bulk from manufacturers. 90% of the base parts I use are either recycled metal or vintage from all over the world. I believe vintage, though more costly, has repeatedly better quality, design and uniqueness. I spend literally hours searching for just the right components. Unique and uncommon design together with quality parts and careful crafting are what I strive for in each creation.</p>Thu, 30 Jul 2015 19:23:52 -0400https://www.etsy.com/listing/168225034/artisan-copper-necklace-assemblage?ref=rss https://www.etsy.com/listing/168225034/artisan-copper-necklace-assemblage1438298632
